I’ve tried Invega, Zyprexa, Abilify, rexulti, loxapine, clozaril. some of those helped a bit but never got rid of the psychosis. some of them (zyprexa and to a lesser extent loxapine) made me much worse, delerious actually.
I’ve only been on Seroquel five days. doesn’t make me a tad bit sleepy either, which from what I’ve read is very unusual. No side effects so far but I am completely calm. and my kind has mental clarity. I feel energized and motivated (negative symptom coverage), I’m connecting dots that are in line with reality and figuring out what reality is. There’s gaps still in coverage, but probably because it’s only 5 days and my dose is relatively small.
I honestly didn’t believe recovery was possible and with two past attempts of suicide I have so much new hope for the future. I hope it keeps getting better.
